  • We show that for every foliation $\mathcal{F}$ of rank $r$ on a normal projective variety, the optimal constant in the bend-and-break inequality for tangent rational curves is $r+1$. The proof combines the method of Bogomolov--McQuillan and the bend-and-shatter method developed by Jovinelly--Lehmann--Riedl. The proof of the main result of this paper substantially uses generative AI, particularly the Rethlas system.
